No surprise, this sort of thing happens embarrassingly often.

No one knows (other than him and support staff) if it was false.
The first response he got from support staff wasn’t copy paste respond either.
If he was falsely banned, he will be unbanned.
I heard some people got banned for using Discord.
Eww. Not a good look for Blizzard.
If there were two people I’d bet anything against ever cheating in OW, it would be Fitzy and Treeboydave.

Fitzy is 100% hacking.

shouldnt they at least tell him what and how did he cheat?
like, if the government jailed you for the rest of your life, and wont tell you what you did to get that.
isnt that really bad?
heard that before too, but im using discord myself, but normally. so i have a hunch that maybe those person have extreme mods in some of their discords. so i dunno haha

It’s truly unfortunate, after all the time spent, I hope that they reconsider this decision.

Yeah its bad, but I don’t think they tell anyone.
They should but they dont for whatever reason.
I dont think everyone should be jumping to his (or anyone elses) defence so quickly though.
Plenty of people have been banned by the auto-system and got unbanned after making tickets.
I mean if your famous enough it probably get over turned. But lets face it all it takes to get some one banned is enough reports. So if your really aggressive in the top 500 race… report every one higher rank than you.
Blizzard proven to really not care about false reports ever.

i thought this kind of thing normal ?
i mean XQC did get banned multiple time
lol that’s a weird policy on their side. like at the very least they should let them know what did they do to get themselves perma banned.
typical blizzard.
some pepega gamemaster bans the account without a second thought and there is no room for appeal anymore
now honestly, im not entirely sure if treeboydave did or didn’t use any hacks but seriously? banned this quickly given his account’s status?

No, actually you don’t get banned this easily. and as it written in the massage, he got banned because the system detected a tired program.
I don’t think it was ever for cheating. He got banned for making false reports, throwing, abusive chat and stuff like that. All completely legit reasons to ban someone.

I would of expected a copy paste response which is what people usually get the first time they make a ticket on the matter.
But he got a proper response typed out and it was still rejected, which at least to me points to they have evidence.
I dont think Blizzard has ever actually told people what they did in any of there games (which yeah is crap policy)
All he can do is spam tickets and ask for further review.
but did we even have evidence that this guy isn’t cheating ?
